Beautiful eel. I can help but notice all your other fish were very "on edge" in your video. The stress may not be very good on them long term. But this is just my opinion so I wish you the best.
The video was within 10 minutes of the eel being added. They've become more accustomed, and it's not uncommon to see my filefish hanging out near the eel's head in camo mode for some reason. I'm sure it's a stressor, but none of them seem to be changing their behavior too much. Luckily most of the fish in the tank don't have a reputation for being delicate. I actually think the eel might be the most vulnerable to stress out of all of them lol.
Very nice!
The only thing differently I would have done is incorporate your pipe into your rockwork so that you didn't have 2 bury in the sand. Overall though you've done well. Is it starting to settle in more?
It seems like it had before I added the PVC. It was out exploring a lot today, but it doesn't seem stressed out so much as curious right now.
Great work in short time! I saw a similar set up with the barnacles retro-fitted to hide cave entrance (snowflake moray). Give that some thought when you do the pred tank, and good luck!
That's a good idea. I have a little barnacle cluster I got from KP aquatics, I'll send them and email and see if they can't get me a barnacle large enough to hide the pipe.
Edit: actually I think the barnacles were from reefcleaners.
